Thanks for showing the Woody and the Fleetline, Jerry. With the prices on evilbay getting stupid, I hope Lindberg will blow the dust off of some of these molds again. Great work as always!

Looks great Cal. Hope you weren't to hard on the kitten (I've forgotten his name).

Wondered what wuz goin on! I'm gonna have to go get my sunnytypeglasses to look at it! That poiple colla is BRIGHT!!! Lookin good ######'n!!!!!!

Thank goodness sdrodder put the finish for January 31. I'm still gathering parts for my F100. So I'm further behind than you!

I'd been following this build since the first post. I'll have you know, you made my day!!!! The Filthy Seven turned out great!!!!!

Welcome! You have some neat builds there. Glad to have you aboard.

I mean't the center car. It was a long week today!!

Welcome to the site Daniel. Nice save on the El Camino!!!!

Multiple replies: Cal; I hope the 'liner isn't too bad. Once the critters get something in their little heads they're unstoppable! Evil; That Revell 58 is a sweet kit, although I still have a soft spot for AMT's. Kustom; neat work on the 37! Can't wait to see more.

How about thos ones?

Great idea on the Pony grille. IMHO I like the Pony grille with the black paint, but the plain grille with the red..??

Welcome Kurt! You've come to a great site. Feel free to ask any questions, as someone will have an answer. Show us some pics of your builds! Oh and if you have any extra Falcon XB, XC or Holden Monaro kits you can throw them my way!

TOO COOL X 10!!!!! ######'n, what can't you do??!! I can hear the notes now. If'n it wasn't so late here I'd put some Zep, Hendrix or Stevie Ray on the box and crank it! Is it ok if I pilfer that great art for my wallpaper?

Hi Merk. Modelhaus has some vintage slicks on their site. No pictures though. Don and Carol's stuff is first rate and they are great people.

Hey ######'n is that a Peter Max on the far wall? It looks interesting!

Whoa! Kinda like a male Mary Poppins on acid!!!!

Cool, Harry! The only thing I can draw is flies!

Hi Merk. I cut my modeling teeth on these old annuals. The first one I built was an AMT 63 Thunderbird 'vert. They were the good old days where you could get last years annuals at the dime stores for 50 to 75% off so they could make room for the new models. IIRC the 'bird sold for $1.50 so I probably got it for $.50 or $.75 cents! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Someone here will know the answer.

Well I'm batting 50% so I'll see if I can't drop my percentage. I'm going to guess model.

Jerry, thanks for sharing the 37. Along with the unbuilt kit. Many of the "youngsters" here probably have not seen these. Do you rember the cool hot rod Dave Shuklis made out of the 40 Ford coupe?

I love it. The Nailhead is a perfect choice! Keep us updated on the chute also.

Thanks for the info on the boats. They look like they're going to be killer when you're done. If I do get some of my other build off's done I may start on Revell's Hemi Hydro. I build slower than molasses on a winter day though!

The El Camino was based on 64 promo tooling, changed to make the 64 3 in 1 annual kit, then up dated to the 65. So this tooling has been around for 43+ years! Traditionally the annual kits were based on the promo tooling and the "Big Three" usually had sheet metal changes once a year so the annual kits weren't as detailed as the "Trophy Series" kits that didn't require yearly changes. If you're not to far along on the El Camino look for Revell's 66 Chevelle wagon, for a detailed chassis. Revell's 65 Chevelle SS 396 and 66 GTO, AMT's 66 442 and Lindberg's 67 442 have prototypically correct chassis' for the El Camino. The wheel base may have to be altered somewhat to make them fit. Also Model Car Garage offers a photo-etched detail set that has the emblems, grille and other parts that can be adapted to the El Camino. It looks like you're doing well on all three!

I'm not much on trucks. But, Slim you did a great job om this one! I had a friend that drove an Astro in the 80's with a flat bed trailer behind it. Ronny called it the DisAstro!

It looks like you have some fine builds going on. I have a couple of Cameo and El Camino projects started too. I wish I'd bought more of the Empi Imp's when they were last out. One good thing about R/M is that eventually they will be re-released.
